Senate candidate Kari Lake has made calls to state lawmakers to push for the repeal of Arizona's Civil War-era abortion ban, according to a Republican legislator who spoke about receiving a call from her.
The GOP-controlled Legislature is considering its next steps after the state Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the state's 1864 near-total ban on abortion is enforceable. The Arizona House convenes again Wednesday.
Lake's campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday evening on her lobbying of state lawmakers.
Lake, who has said she opposes the court's ruling, is among the many Arizona Republicans who have scrambled to distance themselves from the 19th century statute, despite having previously voiced support for it. Democratic Senate candidate Ruben Gallego has highlighted Lake's earlier comments about the ban.
Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs, who has urged the Legislature to repeal the law, said Thursday that calling a special session would not be useful now because “the votes obviously are not there.”
Hobbs said she is in discussion with Republican lawmakers and leadership to repeal the ban but declined to name any legislators.
Republicans in Arizona hold slim majorities in both chambers — a 31-28 advantage in the House and a 16-14 seat advantage in the Senate.

12, 14, 15...tomato, tomato, let’s call the whole thing off!

I fully believe the same can be said about the Left and women if your first proposal is seriously attempted.
I think it is inevitable at this point, the vast majority of women are knowingly voting for policies which will destroy America as a sovereign representative republic in favor of a socialist world government that criminalizes masculinity and Christianity.
Yeah...I think I will.
You need rest.

I’m sure that you are aware that nearly all months are more than 28 days. Seven of them by almost half a week. Over time the extra 2.5 average days adds up to additional weeks. 9 months comes to about 39 weeks, and the 9 month mark is a little short of the actual 40 week or so average gestation periods for humans.
He just can’t stop with the Last-Wording.
